Vivary Bowling Club.

Vivary Park and Golf Course is
situated a short distance from the
centre of Taunton. It forms part of
a sensitive conservation area and
is scheduled as open abutting the
'green wedge'.

The existing outdoor bowling green
possessed a selection of run down
timber buildings acting as club
house and groundsman's stores.
In order to replace these facilities
it was decided to construct an
indoor bowling rink beside the
outdoor green with the aim of
generating funds through
increased membership. This
practice was commissioned to
construct a four rink indoor
bowling hall.

The success of this project had by
1991 generated enough funds to
enable work to begin on the
replacement of the club's social
facilities.

This accommodation included bar,
kitchen, club room and changing
rooms and was designed to
occupy the site of the former
clubhouse.

A simple but economic building
was designed to link with the
indoor rink providing the required
social and viewing facilities
adjacent to the outdoor green. The
buildings simplicity suited its
location within the park landscape.
Internally the clubroom is
distinguished by the specialist roof
trusses and panoramic views of
the outdoor green.
